NorthBank Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I was a founding member of SMiSA but bailed out when ring fenced money started to be used for other purposes. Now that I have read the proposals for the Kibble involvement and that SMiSA will be the major shareholder but appointing their Directors and not just having fans volunteer their services I shall be rejoining. If the debate on B&Warmy was anything to go by I had little confidence in the fans running the Club. And I expect Gordon Scott to continue as Chairman for some time to come. He may not be the majority shareholder but he could continue as Chairman. And I am all for community involvement and with a partnership with the Kibble this should increase. Good move all round. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I had been toying with the idea of stopping my payments, mainly because money is bloody tight at the moment. If Kibble gets voted through I'll continue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 This is an absolutely tremendous proposal and puts the club in line with one on the largest and most far reaching charities in the area. I'm all for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds a good idea, although I suspect the usual voices of darkness will be spouting their shite on BAWA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Can Kibble sell their shareholding further down the line ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 8 minutes ago, Silvio said: Can Kibble sell their shareholding further down the line ? Presumably yes but with SMISA having secured 51% by then it will not make much difference. I would think there may be clauses about SMISA having 1st dibs if they do but that is pure speculation on my part. You can see the attraction for GLS he in effect gets his share money 5 years ahead of plan but to offset that SMISA get majority control far quicker albeit with a reduced shareholding than originally planned but that doesn't really matter that much as 51% is all that is actually required. As a SMISA member I will approve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drooper Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 It is not remotely surprising that there are significant numbers of people posting and taking issue with this over on B&WA who evidently haven't read the freely available background information. Other legitimate questions are being asked, and that is positive, but sifting through the dross to try and get a handle on the state of debate is a very frustrating experience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBank Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 To me it looks like only one person who is taking issue using innuendo and not facts to back up their wild claims. If they had genuine concerns they are not articulating them very well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave up looking at that site as it’s an excruciatingly painful read. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drooper Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 A few others have thrown things into the mix that are easily clarified if the background info had been read. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btb Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 For me SMiSA owning 51% of the club will be sufficient especially with a further 21% of the club being owned by individual fans like myself - it's only bringing the endgame forwards by 5 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddie06smfc Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Can Kibble sell their shareholding further down the line ?That was my initial thought, I was more thinking if/when fan ownership ran its course and how that would impact any sale. However SMiSA being the majority shareholder would mean that they needn’t worry about the Kibble share. I’d be more interested in finding out what the monthly contribution drops down to come end of next year. I’ll be voting for it & signing up to whatever site they implemented for voting. I gave up with the money pot votes not long after the takeover out of sheer laziness. I would say these member events that were promised have fair dried up & I haven’t had a hint of the hospitality/directors box draw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Some of the stuff on bwa is staggering. Ignorant oats who clearly know nothing about Kibble or the third sector in general passing off utter nonsense as fact. There was stuff about Kibble replacing existing staff in catering, stadium maintenance etc as if they were some sort of employment agency, bewildering ignorance ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
